Today, after morning market, I’ll venture into Toulouse. It is an hour’s drive through rolling fields of hay and beautiful vistas all the way to the Pyrenees (only about an hour and a half away).
Toulouse is an university town and is vibrant with lots of cultural activities, markets, flea markets, one of my favorite museums (more about that next week), loads of cafes, boutiques and a pedestrian-only central area called Le Capitole.
There are mosaics around the city, some hidden, some easy to find, including at the Museum of Contemporary Arts. The outside of the building is flanked by huge mosaics beautifully done.
Today’s events are a music and cultural festival called Rio Loco celebrating the cultures of Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. Should be very interesting and fun- I’ll let you know!
